The Kitchen Table

Mardi Gras Saturday night!

We all went out to have a Mardi Gras dinner with friends. The Cajun music and zydeco was playing, decorations everywhere and beads beads beads mister! Lol.

Good food all around the table. I had some wonderful crawfish sooo good, there were shrimp po boys and giant onion rings, a huge chicken fried steak and baked potatoes out of the skin I don't know what they called it. We had a great time and great food with great people. I would have been up dancing back in the day. I was foot tapping!

My cousins marched today. Near Biloxi. Daddy came over today. We had our gumbo for lunch. It was lower spices for my step mom. Once they left, I added the remaining spices, added more stock, and cooked longer. Already better, can't imagine how goes it'll be tomorrow, but I'd guess fantastic. Looking forward to it.

I'm convinced the "color break" I had on Penang Peach a couple of years ago was also the high heat and not a virus.

I took a picture of the grafted plant that I got from Florida Colors with my little camera, it looks exactly like citizens picture. The bans around each petal are almost raspberry in color, really pretty. I was suprised at the size of the bloom. It was its first time blooming and they were hugh. Not a big inflo like makaha Sunn, only about 8 blooms. Makaha Sunn had about 20 blooms for her first inflo. Barbra

Jen, I was planning on coming to the meeting, that is why I did not send you an email saying I wasn't coming. We planned on leaving Saturday, so I could go. We got a call from our neighbor early Sat morning telling Gary that water was coming out from under our garage doors. There was not time to pack, so I told him to just go, he was suppost to take two of our dogs, but he just left without them. I told him I would find a ride home. I got a ride home yesterday afternoon. I rode in the backseat with 4 dogs, one a yellow lab.It was not bad, my 3 dogs slept on my lab the entire trip back, I think there were scared to death to move.

I forgot to come back and add my photos of my Mardi Gras lunch table. We went out to eat for Fat Tuesday, for a traditional feast, but I just had to have a simple table to go with my other MG decorations. This one was without the green chargers, but the purple looks washed out in the photos. It didn't look that way IRL. I ended up leaving the chargers for contrast.

The paper in the basket would suggest the food was at or from Willie's

The food looks delicious! Sounds like a lot of fun. So sad though about the truck that slammed into the parade crowd.
